UPDATED

ORDINANCES

RULES AND REGULATIONS

FOR

Undergraduate Course

(Bachelor of Pharmacy)

On PCI Guidelines

(Effective from the Session: 2019-20)



REGULATIONS & ORDINANCE

1. Short Title and Commencement

These regulations shall be called as “The Revised Regulations for the B. Pharm. Degree

Program (CBSS) of the Pharmacy Council of India, New Delhi”. They shall come into

effect from the Academic Year 2019-20. The regulations framed are subject to

modifications from time to time by Pharmacy Council of India.

2. Minimum qualification for admission

2.1 First year B. Pharm:

Candidate shall have passed 10+2 examination conducted by the respective

state/central government authorities recognized as equivalent to 10+2 examination

by the Association of Indian Universities (AIU) with English as one of the subjects

and Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics (P.C.M.) and or Biology (P.C.B. / P.C.M.B.)

as optional subjects individually. Any other qualification approved by the Pharmacy

Council of India as equivalent to any of the above examinations.

2.2. B. Pharm lateral entry (to third semester):

A pass in D. Pharm. course from an institution approved by the Pharmacy Council

of India under section 12 of the Pharmacy Act.

3. Duration of the program

The course of study for B. Pharm. shall extend over a period of eight semesters (four

academic years) and six semesters (three academic years) for lateral entry students. The

curricula and syllabi for the program shall be modified as prescribed from time to time

by Pharmacy Council of India, New Delhi.

4. Medium of instruction and examinations

Medium of instruction and examination shall be in English.

5. Working days in each semester

Each semester shall consist of working days as per AKTU norms. The odd semesters shall

be conducted from the month of June/July to November/December and the even

semesters shall be conducted from December/January to May/June in every calendar year.

6. Attendance and progress

A candidate is required to put in at least 80% attendance in individual courses considering

theory and practical separately. The candidate shall complete the prescribed course

satisfactorily to be eligible to appear for the respective examinations.





7. Program/Course credit structure

As per the philosophy of Credit Based Semester System, certain quantum of academic

work viz. theory classes, practical classes, etc. are measured in terms of credits. On

satisfactorycompletion of the courses, a candidate earns credits. The amount of credit

associated with a course is dependent upon the number of hours of instruction per week

in that course. Similarly, the credit associated with any of the other academic, co/extra-

curricular activities is dependent upon the quantum of work expected to be put in for

each of these activities per week.

7.1. Credit assignment

7.1.1. Theory and Laboratory courses

Courses are broadly classified as Theory and Practical. Theory courses consist of lecture

(L) and Practical (P) courses consist of hours spent in the laboratory. Credits (C) for a

course is dependent on the number of hours of instruction per week in that course, and

is obtained by using a multiplier of one (1) for lecture hours, and a multiplier of half (1/2)

for practical (laboratory) hours. Thus, for example, a theory course having three lectures

per week throughout the semester carries a credit of 4. Similarly, a practical having four

laboratory hours per week throughout semester carries a credit of 2.

7.2. Minimum credit requirements

The minimum credit points required for award of a B. Pharm. degree is 224/225.

These credits are divided into Theory courses, Practical, Practice School and Project over

the duration of eight semesters. The credits are distributed semester-wise as shown in

Table IX. Courses generally progress in sequences, building competencies and their

positioning indicates certain academic maturity on the part of the learners. Learners are

expected to follow the semester-wise schedule of courses given in the syllabus.

The lateral entry students shall get 52 credit points transferred from their D. Pharm.

program. Such students shall take up additional remedial courses of

‘Communication Skills’ (Theory and Practical) and ‘Computer Applications in

Pharmacy’ (Theory and Practical) equivalent to 3 and 4 credit points respectively, a

total of 7 credit points to attain 59 credit points, the maximum of I and II

semesters.

Note: Grade AB should be considered as failed and treated as one head for deciding

academic progression. Such rules are also applicable for those students who fail to register

for examination(s) of any course in any semester.

17. Grading of performances

17.1. Letter grades and grade points allocations:

Based on the performances, each student shall be awarded a final letter grade at the end

of the semester for each course. The letter grades and their corresponding grade points are

given in Table – XII.

Table – XII: Letter grades and grade points equivalent to

Percentage of marks and performances

Percentage of

Marks Obtained

Letter Grade

Grade Point

Performance

90.00 – 100 O 10 Outstanding

80.00 – 89.99 A 9 Excellent

70.00 – 79.99 B 8 Good

60.00 – 69.99 C 7 Fair

50.00 – 59.99 D 6 Average

Less than 50 F 0 Fail

Absent AB 0 Fail

A learner who remains absent for any end semester examination shall be assigned a letter

grade of AB and a corresponding grade point of zero. He/she should reappear for the said

evaluation/examination in due course.

18. The Semester grade point average (SGPA)

The performance of a student in a semester is indicated by a number called ‘Semester

Grade Point Average’ (SGPA). The SGPA is the weighted average of the grade points

obtained in all the courses by the student during the semester. For example, if a student

takes five courses (Theory/Practical) in a semester with credits C1, C2, C3, C4 and C5

and the student’s grade points in these courses are G1, G2, G3, G4 and G5, respectively,

and then students’ SGPA is equal to:

C1G1 + C2G2 + C3G3 + C4G4+ C5G5

SGPA = --------------------------------------------------

C1 + C2 + C3 + C4+ C5

The SGPA is calculated to two decimal points. It should be noted that, the SGPA for any

semester shall take into consideration the F and ABS grade awarded in that semester. For

example, if a learner has a F or ABS grade in course 4, the SGPA shall then be computed



as:

C1G1 + C2G2 + C3G3 + C4* ZERO + C5G5

SGPA = ------------------------------------------------------

C1 + C2 + C3 + C4+ C5

19. Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA)

The CGPA is calculated with the SGPA of all the VIII semesters to two decimal points and is indicated in final grade report card/final transcript showing the grades of all VIII semesters and their courses. The CGPA shall reflect the failed status in case of F grade(s), till the course(s) is/are passed. When the course(s)is/are passed by obtaining a pass grade on subsequent examination(s) the CGPA shall only reflect the new grade and not the fail grades earned earlier. The CGPA is calculated as:

C1S1 + C2S2 + C3S3 + C4S4+ C5S5+ C6S6+ C7S7+ C8S8

CGPA = -------------------------------------------------------------------------

C1 + C2 + C3 + C4+ C5+ C6+ C7+ C8

where C1, C2, C3,…. is the total number of credits for semester I,II,III,…. and S1,S2, S3,…. is the SGPA of semester I,II,III,…. .

20. Declaration of class

The class shall be awarded on the basis of CGPA as follows:

First Class with Distinction = CGPA of. 7.50 and above

First Class = CGPA of 6.00 to 7.49

Second Class = CGPA of 5.00 to 5.99

21. Project work

All the students shall undertake a project under the supervision of a teacher and submit a
